| Description | Smoking is the most important single preventable risk factor for enhanced morbidity and premature mortality. Majority of smokers develop physical and behavioural dependence.Nicotine vaccines present a new approach for quitting: vaccines produce antibodies binding nicotine and prevent it to reach the brain. Smokers have no pleasure response. Early clinical studies have confirmed the good tolerance and safety of vaccines, but hight individual variability of immunological responses. |
